I noticed a few days ago that there is a new option in the context menu that pops up when you right-click a block or script that is called “compile”, with the tool-tip of “Make sure there are no errors, or Snap may freeze”. Today, I wanted to play around with this, as it seems like an updated version of the (compile ({}::ring)) block, which compiles scripts to Javascript, as long as said script did not include any loops.
But, I noticed it isn’t there, but I don’t recall Snap! updating any time recently, either. Did I just hallucinate it, or was it removed/disabled?
To be clear, I had no extra settings enabled when I found it, and no setting I can find brings it back.
i remember this being a thing for certain blocks
Turn on javascript extensions, then shift-click the setting and click JIT compiler support.
This does nothing.
Please attach some words to this.
it makes the block faster
I am aware of what the compile option does. How did you get it?
by right clicking on the block…
It’s only for these list HOFs:
map (()$addInput) over $list keep items (<>$addInput) from $list combine $list using (()$addInput) find first item (<>$addInput) in $list
Ah, thank you. That makes sense, because I believe I found it on MAP
Well, I was going to say that it only worked on some blocks… but, I got ninja’d by redgeography snap.
